Nature is healing. We don't need every brain dead genetic abomination reproducing to make more brain dead abominations. Let Darwinism take its course. That's what trumps mom should've done with captain bonespurs.

I have bad news for you about how much nature cares about being smart or a good parent
I don't understand how someone makes the logical leaps they do in these kinds of cases. Even from a purely selfish stand point, the risk of exactly what happened and the fallout are just not worth it to make that appointment right then and there or just have the kids sit in the lobby.
I must be losing my grip on reality, trying to reason why someone that thinks this way does the things they do.
Your first sentence, you assumed logical. The average person is dumb. Straight up stupid.
Of course it was Bakersfield.
I can barely handle being in a car that has been sitting in the sun for the 5 minutes it takes for the AC to get up to speed.
Now the 20-year-old mother has been charged with one felony count of involuntary manslaughter and two felony counts of willful cruelty to a child, according to court records.
Is it not a specific crime in California/US to leave a child locked in a car?? We don't fluff around with that in Australia. Also have exceptions to property damage laws for bystanders breaking windows.
Initial charges are just to justify holding a person, more charges can always be added later when the prosecutor has taken more time to examine the case.
If leaving a child in a car was a crime, you'd think they'd charge that up front?
Most criminal laws are at the state level so it would be a CA law.
UNATTENDED CHILD IN MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT
There is no need for a seperate law in the event of harm or death since that would just fall under existing harm/death of a child laws.
She has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is being held in a hot car with no AC in lieu of $1,080,000 bail, according to the Kern County district attorney’s office.
FTFY
Was it leavitt? Yea, no cumuppance will happen there
Unfortunately this is a pretty common occurrence. There was a big furor about it about a decade ago with a social media fad called the "hot car challenge" where adults would sit in hot cars turned off in the sun to see how long they could last in them ostensibly to build awareness of the problem, and there were all sorts of helpful tips and design changes made to cars and phones to try to make it more difficult to forget your kids in hot cars. Myself I wonder if any of it had any actual impact because surely the sort of people who leave their kids in hot cars aren't the smartest and probably don't keep up with safety PSAs about the issue.
Plenty of smart parents fuck up while sleep deprived. That’s what made it such a popular tragedy to make PSAs about.
After having kids I totally understand how it can happen by mistake.
As a parent myself, I'm now doubly amazed at how few cases of forgetting happen. It's so easy to do, and your brain is reduced to blomonge by sleep deprivation.
FYI, the "baby on board" signs aren't generally meant as "don't crash into me" signs, but "assume the driver is drunk and distracted" signs. Having been there, I try and give them plenty of space!
The left shoe trick - throwing my shoe in the car next to the kid - probably saved my kid's life more than once.
One kind of parents who have these tragedies are tired ones. Which is most parents with small children.
Edit: not relevant in this case, but I'll take any chance to advertise the shoe trick.
As a parent myself it always boggles my mind that people can forget that they have kids in the car with them. I'm always in dad mode when I have any kids with me, so I've never even come close to forgetting a kid in the car. Forgetting to grab the kid's backpack for school sure, but forgetting a whole child in the car?
It depends how often you drive without the kids.
If you don't always drop the kids off yourself, it's easy to get half way to work on autopilot before realising you meant to drop them off.
Sleep deprivation is a weird thing.
I felt the same, until I had my first lousy sleeper (child who had trouble sleeping due to minor health stuff). After a month of lost sleep, I couldn't remember my own name sometimes. I read once that sleep deprivation is effectively brain damage, and after that experience, I believe it.

it must be on purpose at this point. how many times does this need to happen before people stop doing it?
Are you under the impression that every hot car death is caused by the same person?
Is this mildly infuriating? No. This is a joke comm, not a group cry.
grrr, im so mildly infuriated rn
Almost anyone can have children, but not everyone can be a parent.
One of my more controversial views is that having children should require a permit, like adoption currently requires, you'd need proof that you are able and willing to raise a child in the environment they deserve to be raised in.
Yes I realize what the downsides would be.
I've seen that as a bit by a comedian before as well.
Bakersfield is a conservative shit show
Getting lip fillers…the kind of people who should not have children
